It is no big secret, some Iranians, many of them of the lefty persuasion, are so ensnarled in their own anti-Israel, aka anti-Zionist, mindset that they miss the forest for the trees.

If their beef with Israel is the Palestinian issue, and not disguised anti-Semitism, and that is a big if, then these people do not understand that their biggest ally are the people of Israel who are desperate for peace.

Unfortunately 38 years of incessant anti-semantic, anti-Israel, aka, anti-Zionist, diatribe by the ruling Islamist fascists – “reformers” and all- has made any people to people efforts by peace seeking Iranians a taboo to end all taboos.

However, more and more peace-loving Iranians are braving the poisonous wind these naysayers blow.

Although many of the usual suspects tried to change Shahin Najafi’s decision to go to Israel for a peace concert, he said NO to all the anti-Israel lefties and their like-minded.

Here is what he said:  

“Israel is considered a taboo in Iran and I'm very pleased to break this taboo. I do this in the name of art, freedom and democracy.

I believe in what I do and I'm fighting for what I believe in: For democracy, for freedom and for peace and I'm ready to die for it,”

There is more hope for peace; more Iranians like Najafi are stepping up to the plate.

 

Sanction works, U.S. Senate, get to it.

Ps. Israel is Iran’s historic, cultural and strategic ally. Once the relationship between these two great nations is reconstituted, they can reestablish peace and harmony in the ME and beyond.
